Mark Smith, working alongside Renata Pinter of Dalton Homes Gray Solicitors, successfully secured the discharge of an extradition request under sections 14 and 25 of the Extradition Act 2003.

The Requested Person was sought by Poland in connection with offences dating back to 2011. The application relied on the significant passage of time since the alleged offences, alongside the Requested Person’s deteriorating physical and mental health. This included psychiatric difficulties and serious burn injuries sustained in an incident in 2025.
